Macronutrients have been a hot topic in health and wellness discussions for years. From advice on eating more or fewer carbohydrates to increasing protein intake and monitoring fat consumption, it can feel overwhelming. Let’s break down the three key macronutrients and how they support your body for optimal health and energy. Carbohydrates What are Carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are compounds primarily produced by plants, including dietary fiber, starches, and simple sugars. Co

Cortisol control Stress is a normal part of life — but when it becomes constant, your body stays in overdrive. That’s when cortisol , the body’s primary stress hormone, takes center stage. Cortisol is produced by your adrenal glands and plays a vital role in how your body responds to stress. At normal levels, it helps regulate metabolism, reduce inflammation, and control your sleep-wake cycle. But when stress becomes chronic, cortisol levels remain high for too long  — and th

A Real Talk About Body Image, Media Illusions & Learning to Like Ourselves Again Barbie was normal when I was a young girl — dressing her up, brushing her hair, and trying to find matching shoes before the dog ate them. Marsha Brady brushed her long blonde hair a hundred times before bed. Twiggy was impossibly thin with no breasts — I related to that part. I was called “bean pole.” Meanwhile, Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Tiegs were plastered on boys’ walls. That was my normal —

“You can’t spot-reduce fat, but you can spot-strengthen your determination.” Let’s get real — we all want a flatter tummy and stronger core, but doing 100 crunches a day isn’t going to magically melt belly fat. You can have killer abs hiding under a soft, cozy layer of fat (and trust me, that’s true for most  of us). The truth is simple: you can’t out-crunch a bad diet or stress-filled lifestyle. 🧠 1. Be Realistic with Your Fitness Plan Getting those “sexy abs” takes more th

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.” — Dr. Seuss We live in a world overflowing with self-help quotes and motivational mantras. Scroll through social media, and you’ll see: “Live your best life,” “Choose joy,” “Good vibes only.” Yet, despite all the inspiration, many of us are still putting on masks—pretending to be fine when we’re not. Even Steve Jobs reminded us: “Your time is limited, so don't waste it

Let’s rewind to 2009. That’s when I started a little blog called “Sex’n’Fries.” Why? Honestly, I didn’t fully know myself yet—and that’s exactly why it mattered.

A space to tell my story without filters, to experiment with my authentic self, and occasionally wonder what the hell “finding yourself”  even means. 💃 The Wild Side of Normal Here’s the truth: life isn’t a magazine shoot in a champagne bath (unless y

Self-image. Sounds simple, right? Ha.  Wrong. I thought this was going to be a deep but manageable conversation. Instead, it turned into a bottomless pit  of questions, confusion, and head-swirl moments. Self-image isn’t just how we see ourselves—it bleeds into identity, self-awareness, and the relentless pressure to be the “perfect” version of ourselves that self-help books, podcasts, and Instagram quotes promise. 🪞 What is Self-Image Anyway? Self-image:  The idea one has o

Comfort zone bliss Have you ever wondered if your comfort zone is secretly holding you back?
